Also, promises of nondisclosure encourage undocumented aliens to file tax returns and pay income and payroll taxes. Lastly, the IRS may not be legally allowed to divulge tax information.

I live not too far away from the Eaton fire which, as of Tuesday night, is 35% contained. When the fire started last week due to high winds, the surrounding area (which includes where I live) had its power shut off for up to 48 hours. Not only that, the ash from the fire was visible in the air and turned the streets into ashtrays. The air quality was so bad that many residents voluntarily evacuated to other cities. Eventually, the multiple fires in Los Angeles County will be contained.

Earlier this year, Hailey Welch became an internet superstar when she said “Hawk Tuah and Spit On That Thang” to make a man go crazy. She used her fame to sell merchandise and start her own podcast (called “Talk Tuah”) which became the third most popular podcast (behind Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan). Recently, she promoted her new cryptocurrency called $HAWK. Unfortunately, soon after the coin’s launch, its value plummeted to less than 5% of the original value.
